Attempts to numb the anguish have remained still unfulfilled
The bloody fangs of death shall approach at their own will
A million questions taint the mind, blocking out the senses
Panic stricken to the core, locked tight within the fences
A mask of lies covers the broken face, not to be seen
And yet behind it no one hears the desperate, muffled screams
The truth is but a drop of rain within my sea of tears
But I shall nod and smile on, pretend to hide the sneers

Your eyes cannot see past the lies,
reach down beneath the skin
Lost far beyond the panicked cries,
the truth concealed within

Cold hands caress the tortured soul, teasing in dismay
Lifeless corpse moans through the night and smiles through the day
Nails of poison break the wound, the toxins pouring in
The flame of hope died at long last, welcoming the sin
Frustration is a living beast, the mourning lingers on
The melody of pain's embrace hinders among the wrong
Believing is a dying lust, it fools all eyes of meek
Relax unto the razor blade kisses, trailing blood down each cheek

Your eyes cannot see past the lies,
reach down beneath the skin
Lost far beyond the panicked cries,
the truth concealed within

Relieve the load of metal pain resting upon the shoulders
Sugar coated candy eyes cannot resist to smolder
A final word escapes the lips, parted in raw crucifix
Cold hard stare tickles the pale skin in mild transfix

Your eyes cannot see past the lies,
reach down beneath the skin
Lost far beyond the panicked cries,
the truth concealed within
